I ended up grabing a 12N9-3A from Batteries Plus per Davo's recomendation. I was going to pick up the Yuassa, but the terminals laid parallel horizontally and stuck out a few inches on the side. I wasn't confident that it'd fix within the box without any issues, so I went with a Yacht 12N9-3A, which had the vertical terminals. The empoyees said the only difference betwen the two was that the Yacht used recycled lead and assured me the Yacht was basically just as good as the Yuassa even though they would have made $20 more dollars on the Yuassa.

If I'm keeping the bike, I prefer Yuasa. I haven't mounted it yet but it fits in stock battery box. I plan on a cafe seat. So I will make a bracket to mount it under the hump area.
